Prepare yourself for the cuteness!  There’s nothing I love more than a sweet little girl to get all dressed up and girly.  I LOVE these kinds of sessions where we bust out fun props and backdrops.  Sweet Miss A’s family contacted me to have a 9 month session for their little peanut and she was as cute as could be!

She had the most gorgeous sparkly blue eyes.

And we had SO much fun with her in the tutu!

I just couldn’t resist her adorable little toes.  This is one of my favorite shots.

Is she not just the sweetest thing ever?

And I love that mom and dad wanted to do some shots in her room with her favorite book.

And we braved the outdoors in one of the snowiest winters I can remember in a LONG time and took a few outside.  She had the most adorable little fur coat and matching boots!

B family, thank you SO much for choosing me to document and capture this fun time in your daughter’s life.  I hope you enjoyed your sneak peek!!

There’s nothing like the bond between a boy and his favorite baseball.  This ball is pretty meaningful to my little man. We went to one of the last Twins games at the Metrodome this fall and had some amazing seats courtesy of my full time job.  So amazing, that we had about 15 or so foul balls fly over our heads!  Now, one would think that it’s an easy feat to catch one of these foul balls, especially when you’re in the 2nd row, but I’ve decided it’s one of the hardest things to do, and that the baseball God’s have to be on your side if you are to become a proud owner of one of these.

Well, one of the many flew *right* past us, and of course, I was distracted by Joe Mauer’s cuteness and not paying attention!  Thankfully, a woman a couple of seats over from us caught it.  She was SO sweet and decided that Tyson was to be the proud new owner of that little ball and gave it to him.  I think it may have only been use for a few short minutes in the game, but it was SO awesome to see the joy on Ty’s face when he got it.  He held onto it so tightly for the rest of the game, and it now has a special place on his shelf in his room next to his other sports momentos.

So, when I wanted to practice on my new seamless paper, I told him I would let him take some pictures with his special baseball.  He quickly decided that he wanted to put on his Twins jersey as well and well, they turned out pretty cute, if I do say so myself!  We now have a fun storyboard that I’m going to get made into a canvas for his new room (when we hopefully move in a couple of months!)

I try not to post too many photos of my kids on here, I leave those to our family blog.  But, I just couldn’t resist sharing our Christmas card photo with you all.  These two are the reason that I fell in love with photography and they are the ones that drive me to get better and better and to do what I love. 

So, from our family to yours, we wish you all a very Merry Christmas!  Thank you for a WONDERFUL first year for Ten Tiny Toes Photography and I know 2010 will be even better!  We hope that your family and friends have a wonderful holiday season!

Last weekend on a beautiful autumn day, little Miss {P} and her family met up with me at one of the gorgeous Minneapolis lakes that they live by.  I was so happy that it was nice enough out for our session because I knew P’s gorgeous blonde hair and blue eyes would be beautiful in the sunlight.  I love when I get to photograph little blondies because my kids have dark hair and eyes.  We had so much fun watching her feed the few remaining ducks and just exploring and running around.

L Family, thank you so much for choosing me to photograph your adorable little girl!  I had such a great time with you guys and hope we can do it again!  Enjoy your sneak peek!

It’s time like these when I find myself wondering how I got so lucky.  How is it possible that I’m getting paid to do what I absolutely love most?  I can’t explain the feeling and the rush that I get when I have a session like this, it’s almost a high of sorts.  Whatever it is, I thank God every day that I have discovered this passion and that I am blessed enough to be able to share it with others.

This wonderful session was done at the B family’s home.  I absolutely love having sessions at my clients’ homes because it seems that’s where everyone is most comfortable.  The kids are happy and excited to be playing and mom and dad are always more laid back too.  Plus, it’s fun for me to see where they live and play every day, and helps me better understand who they are and to get to know them better.

They have the 3 most beautiful blonde haired, blue eyed girls.  While all three of them have very unique personalities from each other, they all fit together perfectly like pieces of a puzzle to make one of the most enjoyable families I have yet to meet.  Mom and Dad were so much fun too.  Dad made some awesome leaf piles that the girls were playing in and that we used for a lot of our photos!

Thank you B family for welcoming me into your home letting me capture your girls last weekend.  I had an amazing time and I hope you enjoy these photos for many years to come.  Here’s your sneak peek!

This sweet and adorable cutie was SO much fun to work with.  I know her mom from high school and it was wonderful to see her again and to meet her family.  We met up on a beautiful fall day at one of my shooting spots and we played in the leaves and had a great time and got some great shots of H for her two year photos.

S Family, thank you for the opportunity to capture this special occasion in H’s life.  I hope you guys enjoy your sneak peek!

These two adorable brothers are some of the sweetest and cutest boys you’ll ever meet.  We met up on a chilly fall day at one of my new favorite places to have children’s sessions.  They had such a great time exploring and chasing each other around while we had our session.  They kept me smiling and laughed at all of my preschooler-aged humor (lots of gross noises !)  I love all of the expressions that we got during their session, it really captures the ages that they are at, which is SO much fun!

W family, thank you SO much for allowing me to capture your adorable boys in this way.  This is why I love what I do so much!  I hope you like your sneak peek!
